I can't prove it, but cigarettes often go hand and in with weed and alcohol consumption. Maybe guys don't have a habit per say, but I'd wager that more than a couple will have a cigarette now and again today.
Fwiw, this dude was drafted in 2001. And he had a "pack-a-day" habit according to the guy in this article.

I've seen other people claim it was multple packs a day, some sites called him "chain-smoking". Hard to tell how much the dude actually smoked but suffice to say this wasn't a situation where he would only smoke socially or when drinking type of a habit.
